I didn’t use the word “terrorism” in regards to the British Army. I said the British Army got away with heinous murders too. So did loyalist terrorist groups. The British Army colluded with loyalist terrorist groups and innocents died as a result.

I did not pretend the IRA were not terrorists. I said nothing in this regard.

People fight using the means available to them. The IRA had no tanks, bombers, frigates, etc. They fought back the only way they could. To them it was justified. To you it wasn’t. But this is true in all wars. The Americans were considered uncivilized during the American Revolutionary War since we frequently targeted officers during battles. This was contrary to how European armies fought.
